Download Fortnite 10.40.1

Fortnite is a co-op survival sandbox game from development studio Epic Games. The graphic style is cartoony and is reminiscent of the style of games like Team Fortress. That automatically places the emphasis on fun. There are two modes in the game: the story-driven ‘Save the World’ mode, which is currently subject to payment, and the free ‘Battle Royale’ mode, which pits you against other players. The game can be played on Windows, macOS, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and smartphones. For more information, please refer to our brief review. The developers have released Fortnite 10.40.1, with the following announcement:
